Need to borrow a set of Bagpipes

Mr. Incognito

Hi there,

I am involved in a charity gig coming up in May in the Village. One of the band members is a pipe player and we are trying to cover a long way to the Top by ACDC.

We would be looking to borrow a set of bagpipes from asap to 15 May or thereabouts.

Would really appreciate if anyone knows anyone that might have set they would be willing to lend- the charity is the rape crisis centre.

PM me please if anyone can help

Would you be able to get away with using uileann pipes? Probably easier to come across.

If you're really stuck, you can get a mini set with no drones for less than €25: http://www.gear4music.ie/Woodwind-Brass-Strings/Chanter-Bagpipes-by-Gear4music-Junior-Royal-Stewart/7WV

Budget full size set with bass and tenor drones for €100: http://www.gear4music.ie/Woodwind-Brass-Strings/Bagpipes-by-Gear4music-Full-Size-Royal-Stewart/7WU

Haven't a clue what either sound like but maybe there's examples on YouTube. Thomann seem to sell similar models.
